What Makes A Hand Cut Strip Card "Trimmed"?
This has been something that has been on my mind for awhile. Since most strip cards are hand cut, how can a strip card be classified as trimmed? I am sure many of the cards were originally cut uneven by hand which would give it the trimmed look today.

I'm just curious-did you submit a handcut stripcard for grading,and it came back as "authentic" with the reason being it was trimmed?

I haven't submitted any yet. I do have a few that I was thinking of sending in.

I think a strip card may get the "Trimmed" designation if there is evidence that it has been trimmed recently.
Edited to add: Grading strip and hand cut cards is very subjective. It seems if the cards were cut neatly and the borders (if there were any) were preserved the card will grade. If the integrity of the cards image was compromised by how it was cut it will receive an Authentic grade. I personally feel all hand cut cards should receive a grade of Authentic.

On the hand cut cards I have submitted, the full card must be there to get a number grade. If the card measures short, is missing any part of a border or in any way is not the full card it will only grade an Auth.

So if the full border (dotted line sometimes) needs to be there, does that mean that only every other card in a strip can get a number grade? I don't believe that graders can tell "when" something was cut, so I don't know how "recently" comes into play. I think they should all get an "A". |
